4 F’s (Friends,Fellowship,Fun & Food)

Looking for a meaningful way to spend a morning filled with friendship, purpose, and a little fun? Come join The 4F’s (Friends, Fellowship, Fun, and Food)!

Our group gathers to make comfort pillows for patients at Centerpoint Hospital, and thanks to the dedication of our volunteers we’ve proudly created over 18,000 pillows to share care and encouragement with those who need it most.

We meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month from 9:00–11:00 AM at Stone Church (Lower Part A). Whether you’re experienced with sewing or just enjoy helping with simple tasks, there is always a place for you at the table. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with others, share a few laughs, and make a real difference in someone’s day.

If you have questions or would like to learn more, please feel free to contact me at 816-807-0628.

And if you’re unable to join us in person but would still like to support this project, we are always grateful for donations of fabric and pillow stuffing to help us continue this ministry of care.

We would love to welcome you to the group!
